Digging on Marigold lands to begin soon

Digging on Marigold lands to begin soon

The former Marigold nursery has not changed much since the nursery shut its doors in early 2016, but that will soon change. On Sept. 18, Central Saanich council approved a plan by Marigold Lands Ltd., formed by new owners Tim Hackett and Steve Mann, to dig 11,200 cubic metres of soil from the ground for an underground parking garage. The soil won’t be going very far, as it will form a berm along the highway to shield the future 200-home development from road noise.
